'Declaration

public override void Abort()

Exceptions

Exception Condition

This method is not implemented.

Remarks

The Abort method cancels a request to a resource. After a request is canceled, calling the BeginGetResponse, EndGetResponse, BeginGetRequestStream, or EndGetRequestStream method causes a WebException with the Status property set to RequestCanceled.

In the case of asynchronous requests, it is the responsibility of the client application to implement its own time-out mechanism.
